Welcome to the Youth Association

Welcome to the new site for The Youth Association. Formerly the West Yorkshire Youth Association, we've been working with young people in one way or another since 1904.

Working across the north of England, we provide a wide range of youth opportunities, from fun days and activities to advice, guidance, training and learning lifelong skills. You can see what kind of work we do by following one of the areas to the right.

We are led by young people, both in the work we do and the way we are run. Young people have an important voice in the association, as do all our volunteers, workers and staff.

We don't only work with young people. Part of what we do is help volunteers and groups overcome financial and bureaucratic hurdles, such as CRB checks (FREE for associates) and much more.

We believe volunteers are the lifeblood of youth work and we're here to help.

Our detached teams go to where young people are so we help them tackle their issues.

Our mobile buses go all over Yorkshire bringing all sort of things to right where you are!
